Rancho San Miguel Press Release
SAN MIGUEL, Calif. (Dec. 20, 2024)—The Street Fighter, a stakes-caliber performer by multiple Grade 1 winner Street Boss, has relocated to Rancho San Miguel in California for the 2025 breeding season. The 10-year-old stallion will stand for a fee of $2,500, with a live foal guarantee.
Bred by the late trainer Bruce Headley and partner Andrew Molasky, The Street Fighter made 21 starts over five years on the Southern California racing circuit, primarily in allowance and stakes company. He was saddled for 19 of his races by Headley, with the conditioner’s daughter, Karen Headley, taking over training duties after her father’s death at 86 in 2021.
Karen Headley now owns The Street Fighter with Marsha Naify, a longtime patron of the Headley barn. Both will support the stallion with their own mares.
The Street Fighter won his debut by an eye-opening 5 1/2 lengths in a six-furlong maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds on the dirt at Santa Anita Park, then later switched to turf for a one-mile allowance score at the same track. He kept on grass and stretched out to 1 1/16 miles for a handy runner-up finish in Del Mar’s $151,755 California Dreamin’ Stakes in 2019, outrunning California champions Acclimate, Ashleyluvssugar and Smokey Image in the process.
His sire is speedy Street Boss, a three-time graded stakes winner and six-furlong Del Mar track record-setter who attained elite status as one of three finalists for the 2008 Eclipse Award as Champion Male Sprinter under Headley’s management.
He is the first foal out of another notable Headley trainee: Silver Swallow, a daughter of Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) winner Alphabet Soup who earned $473,415 and placed six times in graded stakes company from the ages of 2 through 7. Her two Grade 1 placings include a runner-up finish to subsequent Belmont Stakes (G1) winner and Champion 3-Year-Old Filly Rags to Riches in the 2007 Santa Anita Oaks (G1).
“In many ways, The Street Fighter represents the culmination of Bruce Headley’s unique ability to train and maintain durable, quality horses for the Southern California racing circuit,” said Rancho San Miguel Owner Tom Clark. “This promising, young stallion is strong and correct, with good bone, and we are pleased to offer him to West Coast breeders at an affordable fee that will help carry these versatile, proven bloodlines forward into the future.”
